Award-winning Brazilian singer Marília Mendonça was killed in a plane crash along with four others after the private jet carrying the star, her producer and her uncle went down near a waterfall in southeastern Brazil on Friday.

Mendonça, 26, was on her way to a concert in the Minas Gerais city of Caratinga when the private aircraft crashed.

Mendonça, who won a Latin Grammy Award in 2019, leaves behind one-year-old son named Léo.

Two of the four other victims were identified as her producer Henrique Ribeiro, and her uncle and advisor Abicieli Silveira Dias.

The names of the pilot and co-pilot have not been released.

Their deaths were confirmed by the Military Fire Department of Minas Gerais.

A quick look at the crash site and wreckage I can tell following things :

1 .The plane lost power to both engines long before the impact.

2 . The plane had empty fuel tank at the time of the crash .

3. The crash-land was a controlled glide with the propellers properly feathered for such approach.

4. I suspect this aircraft ran out of fuel because I know it doesn't have the ability to dump fuel .

Righteousness2:
What a terrible death! Indeed Death has no respect for young or old.
Condolences to her Family.

This is why we must live this Life in the Conciousness of our Eternity at all times.

Because once we close our Eyes in Death,
it will not Matter how rich or poor you are.
It won't matter the Car you drove, the Jet you owned or how Connected you are.
It won't matter how Popular you were.

What will matter on that day is if you Have a Genuie relationship with JESUS Christ.

Heaven and Hell are Real Folks! People are entering them now! The Choice is in your Hands!
